STEM at Home — Tower Builder Engineering Kit

All the materials your student needs to build earthquake-proof towers at home — pre-packaged and ready to go. Pairs directly with EdTech Academy's Workshop 2: Engineering Challenge — Build an Earthquake-Proof Tower (July STEM Workshops 2026).

Students use spaghetti, marshmallows, tape, and index cards to design and build the tallest, most stable tower they can — then test it with a 10-second shake test. This classic STEM engineering challenge teaches the design process, structural stability, and iterative improvement.

Kit includes:

• Spaghetti (25 strands)

• Mini marshmallows (1 bag)

• Masking tape (small roll)

• Index cards (6)

• Ruler

• Instruction card with challenge guide

Grades K–8 · Pairs with July Workshop 2 · Ships in 2–3 days
